Red Velvet Gooey Cake

This is my 8th gooey cake recipe. As you can see, it mainly just involves switching up the cake flavor on the bottom, but I won’t tell anyone it is that easy if you don’t tell! I thought about making a red velvet version for a while, and I have to admit it was destined to be a gooey cake. Red velvet on the bottom, cream cheese filling on top…why would I ever waste my time making a red velvet cheesecake layer cake or red velvet cupcakes again? Don’t worry, I will eventually go back to the real thing but for right now this gooey cake is perfect.

Red Velvet Gooey Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 package red velvet cake mix
• 3 eggs
• 2 sticks of butter – melted separately
• 8oz package cream cheese, softened
• 1 box (16oz) powdered sugar
• 1 t vanilla extract

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350
• In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix with 1 stick melted butter and 1 egg. Press into the bottom of a greased 13×9 cake pan.
• In a large mixing bowl (I always use the same one that I just did the cake mix in without cleaning it) beat the cream cheese until smooth.  Mix in 2 eggs, 1 stick melted butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
• Pour cream cheese mixture on top of cake mix crust and spread evenly.
• Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Will still be ever so slightly unset in middle when done.
